B.1.6 Get Tag Name
This command can be selected from the
General commands
list.
When used in a Flow Chart, the Get Tag Name command retrieves the name
(alias) of a specified tag and saves it to a string.
Parameters for this command include:
Source Tag – The tag from which the name is retrieved. Any Input,
Memory, or Output tag can be selected, as well as any String variable.
Timers cannot be selected.
To configure the Source Tag parameter, click the
button to open a
standard
Select Tag
dialog.
Destination String – The String tag to which the name of Source Tag is
written. If the name is longer than the defined Element Length of the
String, then it will be truncated.
To configure the Destination String parameter, click the
button to
open a standard
Select String Tag
dialog.
Name Type – Since all tags are referenced by Alias, this parameter cannot
be configured in PointeControl.
